The Family Pulse Circle is a simple, structured gathering that brings family members together for intentional connection. This practice creates a safe space for everyone to share, listen, and reflect, strengthening emotional bonds and fostering a sense of belonging.
How It Works
- Gather in a circle: Sit together in a comfortable space, ensuring everyone can see each other.
- Opening ritual: Begin with a calming activity, such as a deep breath or a moment of silence.
- Sharing round: Each person has uninterrupted time to share something about their day, a feeling, or a thought.
- Active listening: While one person speaks, others listen without interrupting or offering advice.
- Reflection: After everyone has shared, the group reflects on common themes or feelings that emerged.
- Closing ritual: End with a gratitude round or a group affirmation.
